But mole fyi, I did attribute the piece to cnn.com and the piece has no author listed. why? because *they* probably got it from AP themselves. I believe no plagiarism exists therefore if I had left the article up in whole, also because the federal copyright laws do have "fair use" stipulations. If something is re-printed for educational purposes and not for profit, and the effect of the use on the potential market value for or value of the copyrighted work is minimal, then it is considered fair use.

I wasn't trying to steal cnn's copyrighted words. I was re-transmitting them here for people who might have an education purpose in seeing them. Just as they retransmitted AP's words. In other words, it wasn't plagiarism so far as I can tell, not of CNN, or AP, or Cindy Sheehan (I mean I did reprint portions of her copyright letter within the article right?) Since I specifically said "cnn.com", why would they have a problem with it? I publicized their site!
